ENERGIZING Superactive
Davines Naturaltech ENERGIZING Superactive is a concentrated leave-in scalp serum with Clover Extract, Mung Bean Seed Extract, and Niacinamide specifically formulated for androgenetic hair loss — improving scalp tone, controlling sebum overproduction, and reducing hair loss while improving density.
The Moda Team Review: When Hair Loss Has a Pattern, Not Just a Trigger
The distinction between the Superactive and the Seasonal Superactive matters, and it's worth getting right before recommending either. The Superactive is formulated specifically for androgenetic hair loss — the pattern-based, hormonal, progressive kind. Clients who notice consistent thinning at the crown, a widening part, or a gradually receding hairline are the target. It's not for the person who shed heavily after a stressful few months and is now recovering — that's what the Seasonal Superactive handles. Understanding this distinction lets us recommend the right product confidently.
The formula is a lightweight, alcohol-based serum that goes on the towel-dried scalp after washing and is left in. It's applied the same way as the Gel or Seasonal Superactive but is distinctly targeted: Clover Extract (Trifolium Pratense) and Mung Bean Seed Extract (Vigna Radiata) work to regulate sebum overproduction — which tends to be elevated in androgenetic alopecia — while Lactobacillus Ferment supports a healthy scalp microbiome. The result, per Davines' own testing on 20 subjects used with the ENERGIZING Shampoo, is reduced hair loss and improved hair density.
Key Active Ingredient
Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Extract — A phytoestrogen-rich botanical extract that helps modulate the hormonal factors contributing to androgenetic hair loss. Davines combines it with Vigna Radiata Seed Extract (Mung Bean) — an anti-5α-reductase active that inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT at the follicle level — and Niacinamide for scalp-balancing support, creating a botanically-led approach to pattern hair loss management.
Moda Pro Tip
This is a treatment serum — the spray applicator is designed for precision application directly to the scalp in sections. Apply it in parts, massage lightly, and leave in. Don't apply to lengths. And make sure clients understand this requires consistency: the clinical testing was done with regular use alongside the ENERGIZING Shampoo. Occasional use won't produce the same results.
How To Use
- Shampoo hair with ENERGIZING Shampoo.
- Towel-dry hair to remove excess water.
- Apply the serum directly to the scalp, section by section.
- Massage gently until completely absorbed.
- Do not rinse. Avoid contact with eyes — rinse immediately if contact occurs.
- Keep out of reach of children. Do not spray toward eyes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of hair loss is the Davines Naturaltech ENERGIZING Superactive designed for?
It's formulated specifically for androgenetic hair loss — pattern-based, hormonal thinning that tends to follow a consistent progression such as crown thinning or a widening part. It's not designed for stress-related or seasonal shedding, which is what the Seasonal Superactive addresses.
What does Clover Extract do in the Davines ENERGIZING Superactive?
Clover Extract (Trifolium Pratense) provides phytoestrogens that help modulate the hormonal activity contributing to androgenetic hair loss. It works alongside Mung Bean Seed Extract, which inhibits the DHT conversion process that damages hair follicles.
How is the Davines ENERGIZING Superactive different from the ENERGIZING Seasonal Superactive?
The Superactive targets androgenetic (hormonal, pattern-based) hair loss with botanicals that regulate sebum and DHT. The Seasonal Superactive is designed for stress- or season-triggered shedding and uses a different active complex focused on scalp comfort and recovery.
Do I need to use the Davines ENERGIZING Shampoo alongside the Superactive?
Yes — Davines' clinical results were obtained using both together. The shampoo primes the scalp and supports the serum's action. Using the Superactive alone without the shampoo will deliver less consistent results.
Is the Davines Naturaltech ENERGIZING Superactive suitable for women with thinning hair?
Yes. While androgenetic hair loss affects both men and women, the Superactive is formulated for the condition itself, not specific to either. Women with diffuse thinning or pattern-related hair loss at the crown or part benefit from this serum.
